text: The grammar in Cantonese is much harder than Mandarin grammar by using more particles, which makes it harder for non-native speakers to learn. For example:âä½ é¥®ååå¦åâ in Cantonese is just âä½ åäºå§â in Mandarin. There is also a difference between Mandarin and Cantonese in the placement of the adverbs. Mandarin will haveä½ åèµ° while Cantonese places the adverb at the end like thisä½ è¡å. Nouns can also stand on their own in Mandarin but not in Cantonese for example: âæ¬æ¸å¥½åâ in Cantonese is âä¹¦å¥½åâ in Mandarin.
